Ford would cost $14.3M in dead money next year. Richburg $6.9M if he retires.
We can't afford either of them to retire. What we need is for them to be playing and earning their money.
"When an NFL player retires, all of the dead money on their contract counts against the current year's salary cap. As far as the salary cap goes, player retirement is treated the same as if a player were cut or traded by the team. Any non-dead money is forfeit upon retirement and does not count against the team's cap, but the dead money remains.
Because he chose to retire, Luke Kuechly's cap hit in 2020 will be slightly north of $11.8 million ($11,845,028 to be exact). After the 2020 season, Kuechly will be off the team's books completely. While the non-money side of Kuechly's retirement (the emotion, the play on the field, etc.) certainly sucks, it actually works out in Carolina's favor financially. If he were still on the roster in 2020, Kuechly would count slightly over $15.5 million ($15,512,573 to be exact) against the team's salary cap. But because he retired, the Panthers will end up saving a little over $3.6 million in cap space this year ($3,667,545 to be exact)."

Are we packing it in? We trade an injury-prone 26 year old in his prime for a slower very injury-prone 30 year old on the downside of his career? Was Kwon seen as an issue on defense; as this simply a cap off-loading thing; or was this for help with our anemic pass rush? Personally I didn't see Kwon as a problem on defense. In fact he's much better than Kiko Alonso (who ran a 4.74 40) as a pass defender. So I see this as pass-rush help and cap off-loading, because I simply don't see how Kiko helps us otherwise.

His weakness was missed tackles. He had excellent speed but was prone to overrunning players or coming in too hard and not wrapping up.
This was a salary dump for next year.
